“The Greater Mekong Subregion is an exciting area of economic growth for Asia-Pacific. A growing number of companies are seeking to establish a footprint within this region. But … they need to know that the appropriate infrastructure and services are there to assist them, he said.
Nayak said integrating these additional locations with the company’s subsea cable infrastructure, Pacnet can address the growing network demand of its customers.
